How did I survive before GTD?

Hey all,

How did I live without this? Some background:

I have ADHD and have only recently (in the last three years) joined the ranks of those with a professional career and was never taught organizational skills by ANYONE. When I had a dead-end job, it was pretty easy to keep up. Utilities, rent, maybe a magazine prescription and a vehicle loan. That was really it! I was cranking widgets! Life was peaceful.

In the last three years, I've become an RN, and more recently, a travel RN. That means tracking licenses, nursing education credits, tax issues, ACLS, BCLS, and vaccination credentials, more bills, more....EVERYTHING! I was drowning just trying to keep it in my head. My girlfriend's been doing Franklin-Covey since she was a teen, but to-do lists never worked for me (put it off, remember to bounce it to the next day, eventually stop checking your calendar because of the multiple failures...LOL).
